This horrific crime is less than a day old, and the president is already using it to make comments about gun control.
Promptly after saying “we don’t have all the facts,” Obama goes right into blaming access to guns. (These remarks start at the 3:00 mark)
"Innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun." —@POTUS

"We as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries." —@POTUS

“It is in our power to do something about it” says Obama referring to gun control

“At some point it's important for the American people to come to grip with this, how to deal with issue of gun violence collectively” —Obama

The president seems to have forgotten some other rather significant mass shootings in other “advanced countries” that have happened just in the last six months.
The attack at a Lindt Chocolate cafe in Sydney, Australia, last December.
The Charlie Hebdo attack, followed by the attack at the kosher deli, all in Paris, France, last January.
The attack at a cafe in Copenhagen, Denmark, followed by a murder at a Copenhagen synagogue, last February.
But remembering the victims of those attacks does not suit President Obama’s narrative of making gun violence a uniquely American phenomenon. So, instead of calling evil for what it is, he has to blame access to guns in America.
Sadly, evil exists everywhere, and it doesn’t have to use a gun to wreak its hell on innocent people.
Jodi Giddings says: Barack Obama is a shameless, opportunistic politician. Looking for something to blame? Try Liberal Gun-Free Zones.
Appalled By The World says: This usual palaver was completely expected. Had it not come THAT would have been a total shock.
Next:”racist far right” blogs need to be eliminated.
Followed by:more discussions are needed on the racism of evil whitey.
Yup-tragedies like these are a satansend for the Left as they can mine all sorts of goodies from them. One nice bonus from this (Leftist wise) is that makes the embarrassing Dolezal affair disappear from the news. How convenient.
Jodi Giddings says: And gives Congress cover to do this: http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/245417-house-approves-fast-track-218-208-sending-bill-to-senate
Appalled By The World says: No surprise here either. All banana republics are noted for having rubber stamp parliaments.
His blather doesn’t matter: the Republicans will control the Congress until President Obama is finally gone.
Jodi G. says: He doesn’t care about Congress; he’s got a pen and a new AG: https://victorygirlsblog.com/executive-fiat-dojs-loretta-lynch-to-release-more-than-a-dozen-new-gun-control-regs/
